Having Trouble Adjusting Screen Image

Q:Having Trouble Adjusting Screen Image

I am having trouble adjusting the screen display. For example, on this screen where it says Home Podcast or Forum Rules, the lines are squeezed together so the lines overlap each other. Can someone help me adjust the screen display so I get a more realistic image? It is an adjustment issue but I do not know what to adjust or how to adjust the image.

I have had my laptop for nearly half a year now and I just recently found an HDMI cable in an old junk box that can be connected from my widescreen Samsung DLP to my Laptop. The problem is that when I set my TV to be the main display the task bar does not fit on screen and I can barely see it. Another problem is when I play my games or watch videos they also appear to be bigger then what my screen is. I cant even see the exit or minus button when I make my windows/browsers in full screen. I have tried changing the screen resolution, but that doesn't work either. I then thought it might be my TV but it does not give my the option to change its aspect ratio.

I there solution to my little problem? Like a download or a program that is naturally in the computer that can adjust the aspect ratio (not resolution) manually for extended displays? And the resolution is on its recommended settings by the way.

A:I need help with adjusting my screen.

What is the graphics card on your laptop? Both AMD and nVidia cards have overscan options in their software which should give you the capability to adjust your display size manually until it fits. Also check that you're outputting the correct resolution for your TV.

I installed 8 on my wife's laptop, she plays several games through FB, She has to lower the screen size to 75% to play Words w Friends. There is no place to do this when FB has been pinned to the Start. Any suggestions.

A:Screen Brightness adjusting help

First of all, please specify maker and model of your laptop. Some vendors could have their own third party replacements for some functions.

Also, please go to Control Panel - Power Options - on the right side of your current active power plan select "Change plan settings" - in the next window click "Change ADVANCED power settings" - then navigate to - Display - Display brightness and check percentage.

AOC 2353 monitor, on windows 7 has a recommended resolution of 1920 by 1080

when it is set here I notice even the desktop boots up quick and efficient. opposed to when it is set at 1600 by 900. which is best on the eyes.

problem with 1920 by 1080 is that the folders and print are far too minute to see.

this is with Intel onboard video, from the processor.

is there a way to expand the text and folders? browsers can be zoomed

would having a video card help?

A:adjusting screen resolution - AOC monitor

If you go into the advanced display settings, you can increase the size of items and fonts and can "bold" the text.I've got bad eyes, so I do this every time I set up one of my computers after I install the Windows operating system.

The native resolution for my 27" monitors is 1920 X 1080.This is an example of what my desktop looks like after changing the display settings.As you can see, the icons and text are noticeably larger and bolder than they would be from using the default settings.(click image to enlarge and view it)

Hey guys,
I've been looking for a program to adjust my screen resolution. I'm connecting my computer to a TV, unfortunately either my graphics card or the TV suck. I used to have a program with which I was able to set my custom screen resolution. Does anyone know of such a program?

I've updated your post with the V570 model number based on your prior forum postings. I assume that the V570 is the model you are referring to in this post?

As for your issue I have one suggestion.... have you tried disabling the Adaptive Brightness setting in Windows if available? Here is a link that explains how.....

Hi everyone!I have a problem when i start using Win7 and adjust my screen resolution...when i adjust the resolution to 1206x682 or higher, the whole windows become larger and eventually become larger than my screen. So i can see only part of my taskbar. However, this will not happen when i use XP.Is this normal?At this time i can't use any video editing software as they require 1024x768 or higher resolution, what should i do?Sorry for my poor English. I am still an English learner.thanks!

UPDATE-----when i set to a higher resolution in XP, the icons are smaller and the size of the windows doesnt change. But when i do this in 7, the size of icons doesnt change but the whole windows become larger.SCREENSHOT-----In 1820x720: (im using a Chinese Win7)

I was adjusting my battery settings on my laptop and now my screen has gone much darker. I cant seem to locate a brightness adjustment in the control panel. Can anyone make a suggestion? The laptop is a lennovo ibm thinkpad.

A:Solved: adjusting screen brightness

actually, i think i just figured it out. I had changed the setting to maximum battery life. Just switched it back to maximum performance and issue went away

So I bought a new netbook for work travel recently and loaded a program that I need to use. Program runs fine and all, however the prescribed screen resolution for the program is 1024x768 and the netbook (with Windows 7 HE and an Intel GMA 3150) doesn't seem to want to go past 1024x600. Does anyone perhaps have a thought or a way to get 7 to display more here? I don't mind if I even just need to scroll around to get to all the material, but right now its just cutting off part of the program making it impossible to work on some of it.

A:Adjusting Netbook Screen Resolution

Hi Orion3,

While your 1024x768 program is a standard 4:3 aspect ratio, 1024x600 is a widescreen aspect ratio (16:9) as many netbooks have. I'm pretty sure that if 600 is the maximum pixel height it can display but you still need to match the 4:3 aspect ratio program, then you'll have to go down to 800x600 rather than up. Try that and let me know how it works.

I purchased a new computer the other day and it is running Windows 10 Home. One thing that's annoying me is that when I adjust the screen brightness through Control Panel it keeps getting undone. I don't want to squint when I look at my screen. I keep having to increase the brightness all the time. How can I set the brightness and have it stick? Thanks.

After upgrading the OS to windows 10, the fn keys (f9 and f10) for adjusting the screen brightness are not working. I have already updated the driver of the keyboard to the latest version and there is no problem in ajusting the screen brightness in the display setting panel. Please help.

My eyes are getting pretty old but I spend a lot of time on the computer. I am having trouble seeing the small fonts on my mail, facebook etc. When I go to make it bigger by right clicking on my desktop, selecting personalize, display settings... but every setting I use distorts the picture. What is a good setting for people who need a little bit bigger writing? Or is there a better way?

A:Adjusting screen setting for poor eyes

Hey, welcome, try this. press control key and press the plus key til you see the size you want, when done, press control key and the 0 key to put back at your original setting . Post back if this works for you.

What happens is, whenever I adjust my monitor's brightness (from its physical buttons) the screen turns black. However the monitor is still on, the LED is still green and the computer is still responsive, the screen just turns black.

I can use the computer just fine, as long as I don't try to adjust anything. If I do want to change something, I have to change the values a little, then restart, change them again, restart until I have the values I want. This problem appeared when I tried to adjust the brightness by keeping the + button pressed down, so it increased quickly.

Is this indicative of a dying monitor ? It is pretty old, it's an LG L1750SQ, 17 inch LCD, it's over 4 years old. Also, I do not believe the video card to the problem, since it stays pretty cool, it has a good heatsink on it.

my aspire v3-572-746F stopped adjusting screen brightness after i upgraded to windows 10 from 8.1, i ve tried the update driver option to basic display adapter, it didnt work. i ve also tried changing monitor from non-PnP to PnP monitor, yet it didnt work, please i need help to correct this issue, cos my screen brightness just remained at highest, it will not be adjusted and this drains my battery faster than ever before. i will be grateful for any help i'ld get.

Press and release F8 continually as soon as you power up the PC, this will get you to a menu, select 'Enable VGA mode' and press Enter.

Once at the desktop change the Display settings back to ones that worked before then reboot normally and you should be ok.

Picked up a copy of windows 7 from my university today and have to return the disc to the college. I'm trying to make a copy of the disc so if anything happens in the future I'll have the disc and be able to reinstall. Problem is my computer only has one DVD drive.

Normally when making a copy of a disc I create an iso image with magiciso then burn that iso image to a disc. I'm attempting to do that right now with my windows 7 disc and everything seemed fine creating the iso image until it got to 62%, which is where progress has stayed for the past half hour, at 62%. Seems some people have been having issues with the install stick at 62%, but I'm not trying to install yet, just make an iso image.

So my questions are do you think whatever issue people are having with the windows 7 install at 62% could be causing my problem with the iso image? Secondly how can I get past this?

Any help would be appreciated.

A:Trouble making an iso image

Give ImgBurn a try. It's what I use and I find it very versatile and forgiving.

Please do not use this software to make illegal copies of copyrighted discs.

I just tried again to restore one of my other computer from an image
I had created last month. Since I use this computer to experiment and
try new thing, I end up having to install Windows again.
And once again I could not get my image to work. I have tried many
restore programs including Windows and could not get it to work
to save my life.
Could someone point me to a guide or app. that is idiot proof that
I could use.
Thanks

A:Trouble Restoring From Image

I've been using Acronis True image for years and years and have never had a image not load on a good HDD.

But then I always make and restore the images from a Boot USB thumb drive loaded with Mustang PE and the Acronis image program.

Im having troubles trying to enlarge images of ikea products on Ikea website. A friend of mine was able to click on images to enlarge. When I tried it, its blank no picture. I tried IE, Netscape, etc, still the same. English is my second language, if you are not sure what I mean. Here's the picture. First screenshot is what it looks like on my computer and second screenshot is what it looks like on my friend's computer, it works fine for her. Anybody knows how to fix it ?

A:trouble with image viewing

It could be something in your firewall blocking the images. This can sometimes happen when the firewall incorporates an ad-blocking, banner blocking or pop-up blocking feature. If your firewall does have this, try disabling it to see if it helps. If so, try setting it a little less strictly.

hi, I have to put together a document (text and images) which I have to keep to a maximum total size of 2mb.

I will be sending the final document by email. It will then be printed in A4.

I have been sent two 'advertisments' to include (1mb and 2mb sized ad's)in the document. Each advert contains lots of text, graphics and pics. The 2mb advert is 2241 x 3245 pixels. Resolution is 72,000.

When I compress them using MS picture manager, I can get the size down to about 350kb from its original 2 mb, but as you can imagine, the quality is really bad. Especially as the document is printed out in A4 (the advert takes up one whole A4 page)

What is the best way to compress the images without losing quality. I have access to PSP 7.

Help would be appreciate.

Many thanks

A:trouble compressing an image

well, a picture of such hi resolution cannot maintain high quality and be compressed to something so small.

.Jpg is the best way to do this, maybe a 300x600 using photoshop. Quality set to under 5

I've attempted to write an image to a disc using Alcohol 120% and a .iso file. The original file was an iso.exe and I renamed it .iso using rename. I've burned the image twice now and my computer has been unable to run either cd. I can hear it starting to run, but then the sound fades. I can also see the red light on the drive for about 2 seconds, then it returns to green. I'm new to this and have been reading up on the subject (.iso) at different forums. Did I rename the file incorrectly or is there a particular setting I should use on Alcohol 120%? I'm sick of wasting CD-R discs and more sick of wasting time! Oh, and I've also tried using Clone CD with no success. Thanks.

is it possible to transfer files from a game DVD to a memory USB drive and then transfer those files to a laptop that has no DVD drive and play the game?

here's the situation,i have a PC that i play these games on and i bought a laptop that has no optical drive,just USB ports. so how can i play the games on my laptop?

I've searched online for ways to transfer the files from the disk but have yet to discover a solution that works i did come across several posts on creating a ISO image of the game but I'm not sure what to do with the ISO image after i create it.

i don't know if it has any bearing on my question to you and the answer you give but the laptop is running windows 10 and the PC is windows 7

So I start with what I want to achieve is to make windows 7 with programs, configurations, custom wallpaper saved to an image file and then backed up on other PC. Sorry for not perfect English .

This is what I do:
Lets say we have two different PC's[PC1 and PC2](hardware totally different)
PC1 After preparing all my windows 7 (installing programs, configuring them, installing updates, activating programs and so on) I make my drive C:\ total image back up to external hard drive.
PC2 I Boot up windows 7 recovery startup and choose restore from image and then I put in external hard drive with usb and make it restored on my other computer. Everything looks fine, it finishes with no errors and then system restarts. When windows are finishing to show "Windows starting" screen, computer restarts instantly.
Then system autimatically suggests me to repair it, so ok then auto repairs are scaning and guess what it can't repair, because it finds some kind of problem with drivers, could be that they are incompatible with my new PC.

The question is how to make this work, how to fix issue that old PC's drivers are being loaded, maybe I am able to turn it off so default drivers are being loaded?
The reason why I want to make this work cause I want to use it for multiple computers.

I am photographer and have had some trouble uploading my images to client proofing sites this past month. On my desktop (Gateway PC 64 Bit Vista) I do all my normal image editing in CS2 and then do some resizing using BreezeBrowser and all is fine. When I try to upload to my proofing site (BluDomain) some of the images come out as black boxes. I tried working with their tech people to see if something was happening on their end but they said when I just tried to email an image to the rep, it came out as a black box. On my control panel of my proofing site it says it is 0 KB and 32x48 (aprox) size image which is not what is was when I uploaded it. So after removing and then reinstalling my software CS2 and BreezeBrowser software, it still did the same thing. Now if I just do all my image processing and do not up load the proofs onto the site on my desktop but just transfer them to my flash drive and then upload them from my laptop there are no problems what so ever. So something is happening when I upload the images from my desk top. Maybe something is corrupting them? I have run my security software many times but it found nothing (Trend Micro). Please help!

A:Trouble with digital image uploads

Can you be more specific about the uploads? Are you putting the images in a folder and uploading directly from the folder or using software?

If you resize the photos in Photoshop and never take them through ZoomBrowser do you have the same problem?

I'm trying to create an image, for backup purposes, of my Toshiba laptop, W10 OS, using the built in backup utility. I'm using a 1 TB external hard drive. When I try to create the image onto the external drive the 'proceed' button in the dialogue box is greyed out and therefore not clickable. The external drive has been fully formatted and IS being recognized. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

I have 3 image-viewing apps. One is MS Picture Viewer, which I do NOT want to use.Another is Irfanview, but the one I want to use as a default, *most* of the time, is Firegraphics.

However. Even though Firegraphics is listed in Folder Options/File View as the default, and even though the icons of jpegs and gifs are that of Firegraphic, if I have to use Irfanview on occasion, I cannot go back to using Firegraphics as default. Why? MS Picture Viewer grabs it all and I cannot find a way to re-set the default back to Firegraphics.

I know that I can "open with" Firegraphics, but it is a royal pain to have to do that, as I usually forget and click on the icon and then get MS.

What are the other ways I can make any image viewer program the default and stay that way, even if I use another on occasion, besides going to Folder Options/File Viewer?

I've created a Windows 7 master image and I use that to deploy 7 to customers PCs. Now I'm working on creating a Windows 8.1 master image but I'm having trouble. These are the steps I used to create it:

I used the Microsoft Media Creation tool to create a usb installation thumb drive. I start installing Windows 8.1 and boot into Audit Mode and update / do my customizations. I capture the hard drive image to a network location. Then, I
try copying my install.wim file to the thumb drive. The thumb drive is using an install.esd. The thumb drive is FAT32. If I make it NTFS, because the PC has secure boot setup, it fails to boot off the thumb drive. Being FAT32, I'm
limited to files under a certain size. My image file is around 6GB in size so I use dism to split it. I delete the install.esd file off the thumb drive and replace it with install.swm and I copy install2.swm over as well (to the source
directory). Everything seems to be working fine until I go to install.

I boot off the thumb drive and make it to the install screen. I click Install and it asks for a product key instead of pulling it from the BIOS like it did when I was using the install.esd file from the Microsoft Media Creation tool. I have tried
converting my wim file to an ESD and then using dism to split it but the setup program doesn't seem to like it and complains about missing files.

Hey, I'm new here. I was told that techguy had the best English speaking computer forum and I'm looking forward to exploring it further.

My problem:I usually run my backup to an external hd using DriveImageXML. The program creates two files, one file (if I understood correctly) contains a raw binary copy of the hd and an xml file that specifies the paths on the raw copy. But now I've got a problem, my antivirus software got angry and deleted the xml file. Before I noticed it the file had been overwritten and cant be restored with Recuva.

My approach:I'm looking now for a way to get some of the files from the raw file. I have tried to create a cue file and mount the bin in Daemon Tools but it says that image is too large (47GB), I have tried to mount the raw image with Mount Image but it would not work.

My question:Is there a way to convert the file to a convenient format (VHD or simular) or mount it? I appreciate any suggestions.[Will add that I tried to contact DriveImageXML and ask if they have any indexing tool or similar rescue tools, but obviously just got the answer that they do not give support to the free version]

[Lessons learned:1. Just use proprietary formats for backup,2. Always have your files in at least two places *cry*]

Hi, Ive owned a dell studio 1558 laptop for almost 2 years now and have recently been experiencing some overheating issues, among my many solutions "new thermal paste, cleaning the inside" and a virus scan using Avast, which discovered a four digit number of corrupted files followed by their deletion and subsequent problems due to now missing some .dll files making me unable to run anything or access the internet. Ive decided I should restore the laptop to its factory settings which I believe I have done before. The problem now is that once I reach the Advance boot menu using F8, I press enter on the "repair your computer" option which is followed by a bar saying windows is loading files, lasting one second, and then windows loads up and nothing changed. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated thanks.

Put the images from (below) in a zip folder and post it here, I will look at them.

My HDD is failing, so I'm trying to transfer all contents of this drive to a new one. I backed everything up with Windows Image Backup. The problem is that when I boot into Windows Setup, go into Repair options, it won't let me unload image into my new HDD. It always makes the C drive (my current failing master drive) the destination and won't let me change it. I went through the entire process one time, only to realize all I had accomplished was deleting everything, and then copying everything, to the same drive.

I then tried copying the image to an external HDD, and removed my internal master drive, only to find that I could not go through with the process at all.

Do you have to go through a normal install of Win7 to the new drive, and then boot back into Setup (via the optical drive) after that is done, and go into the repair options/Windows Image backup to restore your desktop and all of its content to the way it was on your previous HDD? Is that the step I am missing?

Hope I am making sense.

Hi Southtown84 and Welcome to TSF,

Whenever I do this operation, I always reinstall Windows completely to the new drive. Then go into Control panel > Recovery > Advanced recovery, and simply choose to install from a new image then and there.

I would recommend you to do the same. So just save the image file to a CD/DVD or any external media, then reinstall your computer, and use the method mentioned above when windows is properly installed on the new HDD.

I followed this great tutorial an creating a custom Windows 10 image: Windows 10 Image - Customize in Audit Mode with Sysprep - Windows 10 Forums

Everything worked great and I put the image on several computers and all seemed to be working great - until I realized that Java and Internet Explorer are were not working together. IE Freezes when trying to use Java on website.

I've done everything i can think of to try and troubleshoot.1. I created a new image with a fresh download of Windows 10.2. I removed Java and reinstalled.3. I've reset my IE settings/Java settings4. I disabled IE 11 via the control panel, rebooted, re-enabled it

Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? When I test IE and java before I do sysprep it works. After sysprep it no longer works.

I also tried to make an image where i didn't install Java before sys prep and only installed it after. That still did not work.

thanks for looking,Mathew
